The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

About our non-slip bath coating in New Rayne
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We’re frequently asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, on shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

FAQs for New Rayne
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover New Rayne?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to New Rayne for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Landlord and trade work in New Rayne
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in New Rayne, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
If you’re in New Rayne and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When to call us in New Rayne
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the colour is matched
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- If travel is included in the price
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
